Van Gogh y Rembrandt + Rijksmuseum

Ein kulturelles Highlight

Für uns eines der besten Museen. Nicht überladen, ausgewählte Stücke. Dafür logisch angeordnet und gut erklärt Nicht was man sieht, sondern was den Künstler oder das Werk zu einer Besonderheit macht. Man wird, besonders mit der Gratis-App auf extrem interessante Details hingewiesen. Damit wird das Betrachten eines Kunstwerks auch für "Laien" ein lehrreiches Erlebnis.

Eindrucksvolles Kunstmuseum

Ein schönes Kunstmuseum in einem eindrucksvollem Gebäude. Es gibt Kunstwerke aus verschiedenen Epochen und man sollte, je nach Interessen und Andrang, ca. 4-5 Stunden für den Besuch einplanen. Leider war bei unserem Besuch der Ansturm auf das Selbstporträt von van Gogh und die Milchmagd von Vermeer so groß, das man sich die Bilder nicht aus der Nähe ansehen konnte. Hier wäre eine etwas andere Organisation sehr schön gewesen. Die Gaderobe ist kostenlos, wenn man bereit ist etwas zu warten. Das Museumscafe ist ebenfalls in Ordnung.

Tolles Museum

Ein wunderschönes Gebäude und Museum. Die Sammlungen sind wirklich atemberaubend, von berühmten Gemälden hin zu Vasen und Mobiliar, und auch moderner Kunst. Die Nachtwache von Rembrandt hat mir die Sprache verschlagen. Man kann hier locker einen halben Tag verbringen. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Einzigartig

Das Museum ist das Schlangestehen wert. Sowohl das Gebäude per se als auch die ausgestellten Gemälde sind von einer überwältigenden Einzigartigkeit. Die Sammlung alter Meister sucht seinesgleichen und die Bibliothek zählt nach meinem Dafürhalten zu den aussergewöhnlichsten Locations Amsterdams. Aufgrund der schieren Grösse sollte man sich Minimum einen, besser zwei Tage im Museum gönnen. Die Sonderausstellungen sprechen darüber hinaus für sich selbst. Absolutes Muss eines Amsterdam-Bescuhes

Top

Hier gibt es nicht viel zu sagen. Das Museum und die Exponate sind wirklich fantastisch. Auch als Rollstuhlfahrer topp ausgebaut.

Sehr großes Museum

Das Museum ist wirklich toll und die Angestellten sehr nett. Man kann leider nicht alles an einem Tag besichtigen, da es so viel zu entdecken gibt. Die Kunstausstellung hat sehr bekannte Künstler, zum Beispiel van Gogh. Definitiv einen Besuch wert!

Fantastisch

Einlass auch vor dem gebuchten Zeitfenster möglich, Servicepersonal ausgesprochen höflich und hilfsbereit. Ausstellung fantastisch konzipiert. Rembrandt's Nachtwache wird die kommenden fünf Jahre restauriert, aber selbst das ist sehenswert ! Aktuell läuft ein Mal Wettbewerb für Kinder, wo man Donald Duck und seine Familie als berühmte Gemälde darstellt.

Es wird irgendwann schon echt viel...aber unglaublich bereichernd!

Als erstes muss hier die Schönheit der Architektur des Gebäudes betont werden. Vor allem am Abend ein echtes Highlight! Im Museum selbst arbeitet man sich unten von historischen Quellen hoch zu Gemälden durch. Das macht auch gewisse Freude, doch ich habe igrendwann gemerkt, dass es zu "viel" wurde und man einigen Gemälden nur noch bedingt die Aufmerksamkeit schenken konnte, die sie hätten verdient. Die Nachtwache am Ende war natürlich das krönende Ende. Ich selbst empfand auch auch die Bibliothek unglaublich bereichernd und einzigartig ästhetisch. Der Blick darauf hatte etwas Magisches! Alles in allem muss man natürlich das Museum besuchen. Planen Sie wirklich viel Zeit ein. Es ist das Geld mehr als wert!

Kunst und Geschichte pur

Überwältigendes Museum mit bekannten und weniger bekannten (aber nicht weniger beeindruckenden) Kunstwerken aus mehreren Jahrhunderten. Man sieht nicht nur viele berühmte Bilder, sondern erfährt auch viel Wissenswertes über die Niederländische Geschichte.

Überwältigt

Ein tolles Museum und eine super APP, die die Geschichte fast jeden Gegenstandes erklärt. Für Kinder könnte mehr geboten werden, damit sie mehr Interesse an Kunst entwickeln können.

Das viel mehr als Rembrandt-Museum

Zumeist beginnen wir die Besichtigung in einem neuen Museum zuoberst: wir nehmen den Lift nach oben und arbeiten uns durch die Stockwerke nach unten. So waren wir überrascht, dass zuoberst keine Gemälde, sondern allerlei aus dem Zeitraum 1900 bis 2000 ausgestellt war: vom Flugzeug, über ikonische Möbel bis zum KZ-Kleid aus schrecklicher Zeit. In der zweiten Etage (1600 bis 1700) dann das, war wir erwarteten, die berühmten Gemälde. In 28 Sälen die "normalen" Bilder , in der Mitte des Gebäudes, in der "Eregalerij", die berühmten Holländer. Ganz pointiert, die "Nachtwacht" von Rembrandt, die sich gerade in Restauration befand. Stockwerk 1 dann 1700 bis 1900, was wir dann nicht mehr aufnehmen konnten und Stockwerk 0 mit "Special Collections" mit Waffen, Schiffsmodellen etc. Alles in allem also so viel Ausstellungsmaterial, das man bei einem Besuch gar nicht aufnehmen kann. Deshalb nehmen Sie beim Empfang einen Plattegrond und suchen Sie gezielt, was Ihnen gefallen könnte - neben der Ehrengalerie ...

Museum für die Zeit von 1600 bis 2000

Sehr umfangreiches Museum. Eigentlich alles aus der Zeit von 1600 bis 2000. Viele Gemälde, Kunstmöbel, Schmuck, alte Waffen, Dekorations- und Prestigeobjekte.

Was ist Amsterdam ohne das Rijksmuseum?

Das Museum ist ein absolutes Highlight. Die Erklärungen zu den Bildern sind kurz und eingängig. - Man bietet Gruppen von Kindern ein besonderes Erlebnis. Erfahrene Leute vermitteln Kindern einen Zugang zu den Bildern. So erreicht man, dass Kinder auch als Erwachsene ein Museum besuchen. Die Ausschilderung auf den Straßen könnte besser sein.

Ein Kunstgenuss…

Tolles Museum! Schon das Gebäude ist sehr schön. Die Ausstellung absolut sehenswert. Rembrandt und Van Gogh verursachen schon Ehrfurcht vor der Kunst. Zu empfehlen ist es Tickets online vorab zu buchen. Ansonsten alles top!

Must-See in Amsterdam

Weitläufig und abwechslungsreich. Gute Gemäldesammlung und wer ein Fan von baroquen Möbeln ist, wie ich, kommt auch auf seine Kosten. Definitiv 3-4 Stunden einplanen.

Eines der besten Kunstmuseen

Wer die alten Meister liebt, muss dieses Museum besucht haben. Tolle Ausstellungsräume. Da das Haus sehr gross ist, würde ich sicher 1/2 Tag für den Besuch einplanen. So kann man gemütlich und in Ruhe die Bilder geniessen. Tip. Ticket vorher kaufen und unter der Woche am besten am Morgen bei Öffnung gehen. So kann man den Massen ausweichen. Ansonsten, eines der besten Kunstmuseen, welche ich schon besucht habe.

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

Das Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam ist sehr groß und schon von außen sehr sehenswert. Im Museum findet man zahlreiche Gemälde, Modelle und andere Kunst. In diesem Museum kann man alte Kunst sehen oder auch moderne Kunst. Ich habe das Museum sehr interessant gefunden da man für fast jede Art von Kunst etwas zu sehen hatte und es einem der sich für Kunst interessiert definitiv nicht langweilig wird. Doch das Museum ist so groß das man für einen Rundgang im kompletten Museum 2-3 Stunden braucht.

Hat viel zu bieten

Das Museum ist sehr groß und hat viele verschiedene Sachen zu bieten. Wenn man nur grob über die Ausstellungen schaut braucht man ca. 3 h. Ich empfehle vormittags zu kommen.

So soll ein Museum sein

Nach zehnjährigen Umbauarbeiten wurde das Rijksmuseum 2013 wiedereröffnet. Das Reservieren eines Zugangs-Timeslots für das holländische Nationalmuseum ist einfach, mit meiner I amsterdam Citycard habe ich freien Eintritt. Für Taschen und Kleidung gibt es eine bewachte Garderobe oder Schließfächer. Ungewöhnlich für ein derart renommiertes Haus: Die Toiletten sind bereits am frühen Morgen völlig verdreckt, und teilweise defekt. Was auf der Website etwas unübersichtlich wirkt, löst sich vor Ort schnell auf: Mit Hilfe der Rijksmuseum-App (Pro Tipps: Headset nicht vergessen, Flugmodus und museumseigenes WLAN nutzen) kann der Besucher die immense Vielfalt des Hauses in Eigenregie, oder mittels verschiedener Touren, entdecken. Jedes Exponat verfügt über informative Kurzbeschreibungen in Holländisch und Englisch. Darüber hinaus verteilt diese non-lineare Besucherführung auch größere Besuchermengen recht gut über die 14.500 Quadratmeter Ausstellungsfläche - selbst Highlights wie "De Nachtwacht" sind gut zugänglich. Dass die Exponate nicht nach Kunstrichtung, sondern nach Epochen zusammengestellt sind, macht den besonderen Charme des Rijksmuseums aus. Gemälde, Skulpturen und Kunsthandwerk der jeweiligen Zeit werden nebeneinander präsentiert. Ein exzellentes Belüftungssystem erlaubt auch längere Aufenthalte ohne sauerstoffmangelbedingte Ermüdungserscheinungen, wie ich sie ansonsten oft in Museen erlebe. Die Zeit, unterbrochen von Versorgungs-Stopps im hervorragenden Museumscafé, vergeht wie im Flug. Nach mehr als 6 Stunden habe ich viel, aber noch längst nicht alles gesehen. Ambiente: 5 Sterne Besucherführung / Usability: 5 Sterne Team: 5 Sterne Museumspädagogik / Wissensvermittlung: 5 Sterne Empfohlene Besuchsdauer: 3 - 7 Stunden Sanitäre Anlagen: 2 Sterne Spaßfaktor: 5 Sterne Wiederbesuchs-Faktor: 5 Sterne

Absolut sehenswert

Das Rijksmuseum bedarf meherer Besuche, es gibt dermaßen viel zu sehen, dass man nach zwei Stunden nicht mehr aufnahmefähig ist. - Also immer wieder einen neuen Besuch wert. Durch die Eintrittsregelung zu bestimmten Zeiten, ist es zwar voll, aber nicht zu voll. - Eine Führung lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, wenn man zum ersten Mal dort ist.

Vermeer – eine großartige Ausstellung

Anfang Juni besuchten wir die herausragende Vermeer-Ausstellung an drei aufeinander folgenden Tagen. Aber das Rijksmuseum hat noch weitere interessante Gemälde für den Kunstinteressierten: Rembrandt (die Nachtwache wird gerade restauriert) u.a., van Gogh, Jan Scorel, Wir kauften einen Friendship-Pass für 75 € und konnten mit zwei Personen ohne Wartezeit in die Ausstellung gehen und zwar für ein ganzes Jahr. Wir besuchten das Rijksmuseum an drei Tagen. Die Vermeer-Ausstellung ist abgelaufen. Es wurde nach der Ausstellung ein Vermeersaal mit sechs ständigen Bildern eingerichtet. Das Museums-Café können wir empfehlen. Parken kann man im APCOA Parkhaus Heinekenplein für 20 €/Tag mit Park-Card, 7 Gehminuten vom Museum entfernt.

Ein tolles Museum, für beide Kunstfans und keine Kunstfans

Ein sehr schönes Museum, viele Meisterstücke aber gemütlich. Die Erklärungen auf die Wände oder auf dem Papier sind kurz und interessant. Die Karten lieber online vorher zu kaufen. Wir hatten Glück, zusätzliche Karten für Vermeer Ausstellung drin im Museum zu kaufen. 30 Minuten in der Schlange zu warten hat sich vollig rentiert, da die Ausstellung wirklich toll ist!

Vermeer im Rijksmuseum- ein Genuss!

Ein sehr zu empfehlendes Museum, hatten Vermeer Tickets- wirklich eine einzigartige Ausstellung die so nie wieder zusammenkommen wird. Herzlichen Dank an die Kuratoren!

Don't miss it

This was my third visit in 10 years. It's a wonderful museum. Do grab an audio tour set. You won't be disappointed. And if you're there between July 13 and September 14, 2025, be sure to see Fiona Tan's show Monomania...one of the best and most interesting multimedia shows I've seen in a very long time. For context, I live in NYC and close to Santa Fe.

A beautiful labyrinth

This museum reminds me of the Louvre in the sense that it’s very big, I never know where I’m going and how to get to the start of an exhibition and I am constantly terrified of going through the wrong door and accidentally leaving the museum. Other than that it was beautiful, if a bit overcrowded. This place is a bit of a maze so if you’re unsure of where to go ask for help. There are tons of lockers and even a cloackroom. There are many bathrooms and elevators to get to where you’re wanting to go. All in all it’s a beautiful museum, if a bit confusing. It has beautiful art pieces and with the European Youth Card I got a reduced price for the entry which is was very happy about.

Can't wait to return

Rembrandt. I saw The Night Watch behind glass still fantastic. I think they were working on it because of the scaffolding. Van Gogh, everything was spectacular. Wear your track shoes and the interactive system needs refining. Overall. Beautiful.

Luglio ad Amsterdam

Museo molto ben organizzato. Un po' caro ma ne è valsa la pena. Per i minori di 18 anni è gratuito. Audioguide a pagamento ma si può scaricare il link ufficiale e usare il cellulare come audioguida. Tra gli autori più importanti Rembrand e un auto ritratto di Van gog.

A Must-Visit for Art Lovers – Stunning Masterpieces!

Rijksmuseum houses an incredible collection of Dutch art and history, with highlights including Rembrandt’s iconic The Night Watch (De Nachtwacht). Seeing this masterpiece up close was awe-inspiring—the scale and the detail. Beyond Rembrandt, I also discovered beautiful works by Anton Mauve, whose serene landscapes captured the Dutch countryside perfectly, and the striking Mannerist paintings of Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem. The variety of styles and eras showcased here makes the museum a treasure trove for art enthusiasts. The building itself is stunning, with grand halls and excellent curation. The audio guide was helpful for deeper insights, and the layout made it easy to navigate. My only suggestion would be to arrive early to avoid crowds, especially around the famous pieces. Whether you're an art lover or just curious about Dutch culture, the Rijksmuseum is a must-see in Amsterdam. I’d highly recommend it!

Don’t miss this museum . Worth the money

We are so pleased we prioritized this museum during our 3 day visit to Amsterdam. We thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about Dutch artists and history. Our favorite was seeing the Night watch by Rembrandt under restoration. It was fascinating to watch the restoration artists at work. The building itself is also interesting. A few tips: 1. Book to go early. We went at 9am and the crowds were greater by 11am 2. Download the app and take earbuds. It helps you navigate and makes for a more engaging experience 3. Allow st least 2 hrs. We were there for 3 hrs.

Värt ett besök!

En regnig söndag valde vi att gå på Rijksmuseum. Trodde det skulle vara jättelånga köer men kom in förvånansvärt fort. Mycket att titta på, och timmarna gick fort.

Amazing History of the Netherlands Awaits You Here

I visited with family and friends on the recommendation of a colleague. I had no idea what to expect. The museum is actually overwhelming because there is so much there. You really need more than one visit to take it all in. You definitely get a comprehensive view of Dutch history when you visit. The building itself is beautiful, and the exhibits are great. There are stunning stained glass windows in the great hall.

Great bit of culture to balance less cultural activities in Amsterdam

We went a little late in the day at 3.30 to find it shut at 5pm. It was worth going to see the iconic paintings. Well worth a trip. Free lockers which which was helpful.

Great for a rainy day

If you get there early enough, you’ll be able to cruise along all the rooms with tranquility. For people like me, who get tired easily, you will be glad to hear that there is plenty of seating for you to rest your legs. We had a few drinks and some bitterballen at the cafe and had a great time & took nice pics.

An Amsterdam must do!

Really enjoyed my visit to the Netherlands' most visited museum. A lot of visitors make a straight beeline to this world famous museum and it's easy to see why. You get to see the most renowned works from the world renowned Dutch Masters. If you really appreciate art, you'll probably need about half a day at least to fully take in the contrasting amounts of works. I saw the majority of the works in the three hours I had but I ending missing the Asian Pavillion, but I did see the highlights including Rembrandt van Rijn's Night Watch(under renovation at the time of this review, I was just grateful enough to see it) and Johannes Vermeer's Milkmaid. Try and get there as early as you can, as it is well busier in the afternoon. But if you book online as I did, you are given an hour's slot to make it to the museum. Visited the cafe too and whilst service can be a little slow the busier it gets, it is a fine way to rest weary legs and recharge and despite the prices, is a little less pricier than the restaurant, but I did visit on a Monday when the Rijks restaurant is closed. Shop moderately priced too. I didn't have time to pay a visit to the gardens, but they're free to visit anytime when the museum is open. Thoroughly recommend going round at your own pace, either by downloading the Rijksmuseum app or by spending €6.50(at the time of review) hiring an audio guide. You have more time to appreciate the works than any tour guide can give you. On selected works you simply type in the number provided into the app or screen and you get a personal commentary Can't recommend the Rijksmuseum enough when coming to Amsterdam

Excellent

Second visit to this hugely popular museum with a massive collection of exhibits on display over four levels. Along with the gift shop and cafe this is a great place to spend a few hours. You’ll need more than a day to fully appreciate the whole collection as after two separate visits, one all day and one just a third of a day, I still haven’t fully seen all of the first floor. Looking forward to completing the lot sometime again soon. The images are only from one of the many many rooms to view

Helemaal de moeite waard!

Goede ervaring. Van nature nou niet een kunstliefhebber. Maar ik wilde werken van de grote Nederlandse kunstschilders eens zien. Een enorme verzameling in het Rijksmuseum, waar je zeker minimaal 2-3 uur voor kunt uittrekken om het rustig maar gestaag te doorlopen. Het is het entreegeld méér dan waard. Tijdens het zien van de schilderijen leer je ook nog over de NL-geschiedenis met de teksten die erbij staan.

Worth a stop during your visit!

Caught the train from city center to visit a local market. We were close enough to walk to Rijks to check it out as well. I strongly suggest buying tickets online in advance to make entry easier. Buying tickets on site is just from people standing outside no true ticket booths or anything. The interior layout is not what I expect from a museum. Most places have a layout that promotes walking in an order to see everything. Here it is easy to miss exhibits if you don't check every nook and cranny of a floor. If your into art this museum will probably be amazing. I am not into art though and just wanted the experience. I would not suggest the attached cafe for food. Service wasn't great, food was very overpriced and sub par.

Highly Recommend

Rembrandt and Van Gogh. How could you go wrong? Broad range of art and artifacts very well presented. I have now managed to knock off several of the world’s greatest art museums and the Rijksmuseum is among the best.

Glad we finally visited.

We went early morning to Rijksmuseum, it was so busy with school trips waiting to go in which seem to take priority other others who jumped the queue. Not sure if that is standard practice but we didn't mind waiting as it wasn't for long. Security check bags going in and they were really friendly. Lockers are provided for rucksacks. The toilets are clean and tidy. We tried to take the lift to the top floor and work our way down but it was busy so we gave up waiting and climbed the stairs. The whole museum is so clean and tidy, with places to sit and rest. My favourite of all the exhibitions were Operation Night Watch and the papercuts! I used to do papercutting years ago as a hobby and never realised its hundreds of years old! I'm glad we finally managed to visit after trying twice on previous trips.

Amazing museum

What a fabulous museum. It is huge so wear comfortable shoes. Stairs and lifts are available and good clean toilet facilities which is so important to many. So much art on display, you could spend hours and hours in the museum. We purchased our tickets in advance so we had our entry time booked. I would recommend buying in advance as it can get very busy, you can't really just turn up or you may have a long wait for the next available entry time. There are lovely gardens attached to the museum and a wonderful fountain. There is shade/cover available in the garden for hot or wet days. Places to eat and get a drink are next to the gardens. There is a cafe inside the museum but there were very long queues for it.

Art, History, and a Little Restoration Dust

I went to the Rijksmuseum with friends, and it really impressed us. The building is stunning, and the collection takes you through centuries of Dutch art and history. The Night Watch was a major highlight, though it was partially blocked off due to restoration. You could still see it behind glass, which was interesting, but it took away a bit of the impact. Even so, the museum is full of amazing works, and there's so much to explore. Definitely worth a visit.

Rijksmuseum

I am normally not a fan of art museums. I like something more active. This museum was amazing. We could have spent several days here! We used the app for our tour. It was very frustrating to figure out how to use it and where to go at first. Eventually we figured it out and it was very useful. Especially if you have limited time. We ate lunch in the restaurant. It was very good.

Very Enjoyable

This museum is great. When we walked up to the building we were impressed with the design, the building is really large and special. We did have a bit of a wait, standing in line for a while and then not sure where to go with our pre-paid tickets. When we got inside we found it to be well organized and staff knowledgeable. We saw a variety of things to see. Of course the art but also unique statues, glassware and many interesting items. We saw the cafe, it looked very nice. We didn’t have lunch, but I would not hesitate to try it. It was very busy, so maybe reservations if they take them would be worthwhile. No one wants to have to wait a long time for lunch especially with so much to see in the museum. We enjoyed it. It was April, so not as busy a summer, but a line to get in nonetheless. Getting advance tickets would be a good idea.

Tappa obbligatoria ad Amsterdam

L’ immensità e la bellezza di questo posto conserva opere di inestimabile valore, curato nella presentazione, ogni visitatore può ricevere la visita guidata audio con cuffiette a un prezzo ragionevole che spiega tutte le opere e le loro peculiarità. Sedute lungo tutto il percorso permettono di fermarsi a contemplare le opere , un posto magico

A huge collection

In early May, it wasn't necessary to book in advance. But most likely, during the busiest season, booking in advance is necessary. Huge collection, pick what you want to see, it's unlikely you will see everything in there at once. Loads of information available even without guided or audio tour. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Rijksmuseum 🤎

My favourite museum of all time. Consider putting in 3-5 hours to visit the museum (minimum) if you are art lover. It’s a must-see if you would like to get to know the Dutch history, art and culture. Enjoy seeing Rembrandt, Vermeer, Jan Steen etc. The museum also has a restaurant inside of its walls so you can enjoy breakfast and lunch there. Make sure to reserve timeslot as it can be full from the noon onwards.

Great museum but frustrated with the experience

The museum is quite amazing and has plenty to see, however I did think that the staff was a little lacking as well as the information provided before and during our visit. We opted for the audio tour. When we picked up the audio recorders the instructions were very vague and so we struggled to get it to work for too long. Then mid-way through mine stopped working although my husband's continued to work. We were also told that it would take a couple of hours, but we were only a little more than halfway completed when that time was up, so we did not get to see much of the museum because it was closing. When I handed my headset in, I told them that mine did not work properly, and they agreed it stopped however they would not give me my funds back.

Museum visit on a city break

We visited here in June and were greatly impressed. We managed to book online the day before luckily, so would recommend you get tickets before hand. The museum was well run, lots of lockers which were free to use to drop off coats and bags. Toilets extremely clean, no queues but we visited early in the morning. So many interesting pieces of history. Ancient china sets, weapons, early boat designs, carving, paintings, furniture. They had good descriptions of everything. Three was no need to rush, you could take your time and go back to re visit rooms again if you wished. Massive building with parts having wonderful architecture . We saw a few Van Gough, Cézanne and Rembrandt paintings which were brilliant. The whole visit took about 3 hours but we could have easily gone back around as there was so much to see. There was a cafe, with lots of seating too. It was busy here when we left, as it was lunchtime, so we didn’t eat here. It was well worth the visit and would like to go back one day.

Dutch Golden Age in Art

Visited the museum with as part of a tour group. The building is historic and it was fascinating to hear the history... the bicyles that drove through the historic gates just added a touch of Amsterdam to its appearance. The art work and the stories thereof takes one to the Dutch Golden Age. Fascinating to see how the Night Watch painting is being repaired. Highly recommend a visit.

Came for the Rembrandt, not dissapointed

I came to the Rijksmuseum specifically for Rembrandt, and I left completely satisfied. Seeing The Night Watch and The Jewish Bride in person was just brilliant! The Rembrandt Experience: The Night Watch is absolutely massive and breathtaking - no reproduction does it justice. How the shadows are depicted are just incredible. During the time of visit, the museum was performing a huge restoration of the piece, no worries you'll still be able to see it ! Practical Tips: I booked a guided tour through GetYourGuide and visited during the 11am time slot in June. This was perfect timing - the museum was much less crowded than I expected, making it easy to spend quality time with each painting without feeling rushed. I spent about 2.5 hours total, which gave me plenty of time to really absorb the Dutch masters collection. Overall: The museum is beautifully laid out and the collection goes far beyond just Rembrandt (though that's what drew me there). The building itself is gorgeous, and the way the artworks are displayed really lets you connect with the pieces. If you're an art lover, especially interested in Dutch Golden Age painting, this is an absolute must-visit. Book your tickets in advance and give yourself at least 2-3 hours if you want to truly appreciate what's there.

Tolles Event

Wir wurden von einem supernetten Team empfangen, die Atmosphäre in der Kirche war natürlich auch etwas ganz besonderes. Die Show war wundervoll aufgebaut, immer wieder gab es fantastische Übergänge. Die Geschichte Van Goghs aus seinen Briefen zu erfahren war wirklich spannend, man sollte auf jeden Fall recht gut englisch verstehen können, um den Texten zu folgen. Wir waren auf jeden Fall begeistert und haben viele Fotos und Videos gemacht. Es lohnt sich, sich frühzeitig in die Schlange zu stellen, um einen der gemütlichen Sitzsäcke zu bekommen.

absolut beeindruckend!

Eine wirklich sehenswerte Veranstaltung. Die Atmosphäre in der Kirche ist beeindruckend und der Sound umspielt alles richtig gut. Absolut zu empfehlen!

A must see experience

An amazing experience. It is in a beautiful massive church which is still used on Sundays for mass. The light display and auditory accompaniment of Van Goghs letters made it a wonderful show. You can sit on chairs or lie on bean bags put on the floor. Employees are friendly and it is well worth going to see. Thank you Van Gogh and Rembrandt

100% worth it

The show was amazing! Very nice portrayal of Van Gogh and Rembrandts art, totally worth it! The show was about 40 minutes long, perfect duration. Shout out to Gustavo, super nice guy!

Amazing experience!

It was a amazing experience! The church was very special with the projection of moving pitcures en sound. With the best host: Gustavo!

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Absolutely fabulouse experience highly recommend. We managed to get the floor beanbags so it was also relaxing ... The location of the old church also added to the experience.

Amazing lights and sound

Absolutely wonderful experience, was in awe of the lights and sounds. It taking place in the church too made it even more mesmerizing! 10/10 would recommend, and Bruno was a star!

Experiencia distinta e inusual !!!

Mis hijos (guías) nos invitaron a ver esta versión de las obras de Van Gogh y Rembrandt hacia allí fuimos, luego de un día bastante agotador de largas caminatas. La sorpresa cuando entramos y era una iglesia, ahí nos explicaron que eran imágenes de las obras, mucha, mucha gente joven nos sentíamos fuera del entorno, decidimos sentarnos en los bancos de la iglesia mientras la enorme mayoría se acostaba en almohadones en el piso. Inicio en hora, buen ambiente, buena música, imágenes en las paredes y techo ahí me percaté porqué los jóvenes elegían el piso, me resultó difícil poder acompañar el inglés con las imágenes, pero una linda experiencia. Para quienes tenemos una idea clara de los artistas es una puesta al día muy interesante, a bajo costo distinta e inusual !!!

Beautiful Experience at the Van Gogh and Rembrandt Museums in amsterdam ✨️

The show was absolutely beautiful and inspiring — a true celebration of art and history. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the visit. The overall atmosphere was calm and well-organized. One small suggestion: I would love to see more seating areas in the central spaces to relax and take in the art more comfortably. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Amsterdam — a must-see experience!

More restrictive than other immersive experiences, but if you are a Rembrandt or Van Gogh fan, still enjoyable!

We entered the darkened church sanctuary and had to find seats (choose from large cushions on the floor or church pews or chairs) not knowing what direction we would be looking. It was hard to hear the introduction since the speaker did not have a microphone. Once the program began, it seemed like images on one wall did not travel around 360 degrees. And depending on where you sit, you may have chandeliers and other infrastructure in your sightline. At times, it was a bit difficult to hear the words spoken during the program. Rembrandt was not as interesting or as colorful as Van Gogh (at least in his later years). I ended up just looking around and up to see what I could enjoy during the program. I did see a number of my favorite Van Gogh paintings, but have no idea how many different works were covered. The show lasted about 40 minutes. It was not as much fun as the other immersive experiences I've seen (where you can get up and move around), but it was still enjoyable!

Worth the visit if you have a ride!

Enjoyable! Set in an historic church both artists attended. Sound is a little garbled; visuals are like a panoramic slide show. Area is difficult to access via taxi.

Not when you are tired!

I was tired after long day of walking and there were mats on which I lay - this was a mistake. I initially started to dose. The imagery is cast on the ceiling and the walls. Lying on your back you have to crane your head around to see the walls as well. I wonder if it would have been better to have been seated? The sound, as I am a senior, was occasionally difficult to discern but overall mood was set and did impact the images. I am not certain that the value is there though at 17€ for 40min. On the other hand I do not regret spending time experiencing Van Gogh’s words while seeing his images.

Beautiful Experience

The atmosphere in this church was truly beautiful, and the production of the experience was top-notch. Our guide for the day, Gustavo, was fantastic. It's quite something to realise you're in the same church where both Rembrandt and Van Gogh once were (and that it's still an active church)! The unique touch of laying on bean bags in the church's center made it even more memorable. We found the experience to be very informative and thoroughly impressive. Definitely recommend a visit! Just be sure to wrap up warm, as it can be a little cold inside, which is understandable for such a large church

Colorfull Story

Lovely show, A wonderfull moment to simply enjoy a story and beautiful art. The colors and the sound bring you into the story.

Très belle découverte

Merci pour cette belle expérience, les jeux des sons et lumières sont magnifiques dans une église où des matelas sont mis à votre disposition au sol pour admirer le joli spectacle. Pensez à vous couvrir car il fait assez frais dans l'église et le spectacle dure 40mins. Gustavo est juste genialissime, très agréable. Attention le spectacle est entièrement commenté mais en anglais exclusivement. Si vous achetez un tour en bateau ou en bus rouge vous aurez une réduction pour cette attraction. Merciiiii

Incredible

The story was incredible. How the pictures were displayed felt like Van Gogh was there through his artwork. This is our last day in Amsterdam and it really made our final day feel special. Thank you to all the people who made the amazing display.

Amazing presentation

If you love Goya's art and want to experience it through the voices and photos it is an amazing experience to see it all come alive. I recommend it highly

Lovely experience

Very friendly staff it was enjoyable and a different way of looking at art. Really enjoyed the experience with a great summary of how Van Gough was inspired by Rembrandt.

Unlike anything I have done before!

This experience was incredible and nothing like I have ever experienced before! You are so immersed that you genuinely lose track of time. Would highly recommend.

Mooi beeld en matig geluid.

Absoluut een mooie weergave van werken van Van Gogh en Rembrandt. De gesproken ondertiteling is alleen slecht te verstaan, omdat de muziek daarvoor te hard staat in een gebouw vol acoustic.

booked by mistake, but loved the experience 😍 …

A Mesmerizing Journey Through Art at the Noorderkerk The Van Gogh and Rembrandt light performance at the Noorderkerk is a breathtaking tribute to two of the Netherlands' greatest artists. Located in the heart of the Jordaan, the historic church becomes a living canvas as stunning projections of Van Gogh’s vivid landscapes and Rembrandt’s evocative portraits illuminate its walls. Guided by the voice of a skilled narrator, the audience is taken on an intimate journey through the lives and works of these masters. The narration adds depth and context, weaving the stories behind the art into the immersive visual experience. The interplay of light, color, and storytelling creates a unique atmosphere, blending history and innovation within the awe-inspiring architecture of Noorderkerk. This performance is an unforgettable homage to Dutch artistic heritage, offering a fresh and engaging way to connect with the timeless genius of Van Gogh and Rembrandt. I loved it. A must-see for art lovers and anyone seeking a unique cultural experience in Amsterdam.

Amazing immersive experience and not to be missed!

Beautiful immersive way to enjoy learning about Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Gorgeous setting and wonderful video/music projected onto the church. I feel sad by the amount of negative reviews because the purchasers didn’t know what they were buying - this is no reflection on the experience and is user error. The website clearly states multiple times ‘we are not the Van Gogh museum’ so I don’t think they can do any more to avoid this happening. I would definitely recommend - I loved lying on the bean bags to watch the church transform in front of my eyes!

Wonderful experience

The show was amazing and breathtaking !! The images and the sound worked so well together. We enjoyed the whole show and the time flew away. The church as a place for this show was just the perfect spot. For us it was the perfect final of a great day in Amsterdam. It’s a beautiful way to come a little closer to the two artist Van Gogh and Rembrandt, even if you don’t enjoy standing in a museum and watching art the whole day.

Incredible virtual experience

The virtual art experience of Van Gogh and Rembrandt was absolutely stunning. The setting was both lovely and meaningful, creating a perfect backdrop for the works of these two iconic artists. The atmosphere was immersive, and the visuals were simply breathtaking, bringing their masterpieces to life in ways that felt both intimate and grand. What made this experience truly memorable was how well it conveyed the stories and legacies of these two famous local artists. Each piece seemed to speak not only of their genius but of the rich cultural heritage they left behind. The combination of stunning visuals, captivating storytelling, and an incredible atmosphere made this experience a beautiful tribute to Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Highly recommended for any art lover!

Amazing immersive art experience!

The MOST amazing experience! Absolute highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. Grab a bean bag on the floor, recline, and look up as the art and story are projected on the ceiling and walls. Staff did a great job. Go!

Art in immersive storytelling!

This is a must see experience. Cozy, immersive and a unique lens to art. It helps you get a peek into Van Gogh's mind and why Rembrandt inspired him as much as he did.

Informative and enjoyable visit to see this light display

Really enjoyed this light display. The setting was perfect to learn about these fabulous artists. It was held in a church and you had the choice to lie on the floor on beanbags or chairs. Very informative

Great experience!

Great experience, different and beautiful. It would be better if there were different languages, and the sound is a bit low so it was difficult to understand.

Visual Excitement!

The visuals were great, it felt so surreal. The staff were super patient (I was 5 minutes late 🤭🤭) Definitely recommend!!

Immersive experience

A very cool experience linking the two great artists in a church we you are surrounded but their artwork screened onto the walls and ceiling. Music was emotive and the art stunning. Only downside is the audio which can be difficult to hear.

Impressive visuals

Such an incredible show! The visuals were so impressive and very friendly staff! I liked how you could take photos of the show as well.

Came here with my partner without pre-planning our visit and found that to be no problem. Upon queueing up we found out that there was an English show in an hour and a half and that we could come back for that show. When we got back, we bought the tickets without any issues, made our way inside the church and found a beanbag to lay down on. The whole experience took about 45min and was absolutely beautiful to watch. They tell you the (a small part of) life story of Van Gogh and how that intertwined with Rembrandt, how the paintings got to be as we know them today and the visuals really captivate the words that are spoken. The visuals in general are absolutely captivating and very peaceful. For some the show was so peaceful they even snoozed off. Which was quite hilarious to see. I do have to say that the seating availability isn't the greatest for the angle you need to be tilting your head to watch the show for a long time. If you have a beanbag you are definitely a lucky person, since many complained about their neck afterwards. Overall a good experience, would recommend this for the arts enthusiasts out there.

It was really lovely, different than other emerssive experiences I've had

Excelente exposición! La recomiendo ampliamente.

Amazing!!! So worth it and so inspiring

An unique experience. A must when in Amsterdam.

It was a great experience. You can go even if your English is bad.

Super expérience je recommande

By mistake me, my wife and my baby girl have visited the Van Gogh x Rembrandt but honestly what an experience to have in Amsterdam. Bruno was super cool and has shared so much after the presentation too. Definitely if you are in Amsterdam you should pay them a visit!

Great experience, beautiful views and informative but not boring at all.

A magical experience from start to finish. I was wowed by every change of scène. You don't just get to see the art, you get to live in it

Great price and worth the visit.

My husband and I really enjoyed this experience. It was a great way to increase our basic knowledge of both artists while enjoying the visuals of their works projected in a place they met. The experience was immersive and cut you off from the outside world. While we were a few minutes late, the staff were accomodating and the experience was worth our time. Would recommend.

What a wonderful way to enjoy both artists stories and feel as if you’re in the painting. You can stand, sit or lie down on large pillows. My daughter and I happened upon this immersive experience, offered in Dutch and English. A 360 degree projection in De Noorderkerk. The staff were gracious and kind! I couldn’t have asked for a better serendipitous immersive art experience. I highly recommend and would see again. Tickets can be bought at the door.

Great venue and lovely helpful staff. Unique experience

Visited this exhibition and although had some trouble finding it it was well worth it. The staff were so helpful helping us find our way back to central train station. Amazing venue and insightful story told. The projections of the artists works were incredible. A fully emersive experience we would strongly recommend.

A unique experience

A unique experience with the famous paintings projected on the church ceiling and wall while you lie on bean bags to listen to the story behind them

Emotional & evocative.

I left with goosebumps, this was such a unique & touching experience. Feel blessed to have experienced it. Jus wonderful, it really made my holiday.

I wondered how it will be, the result for me is that I was very satisfied. Indeed, it is well done, both for images, Lights and sounds. I think I understand now better who is Rembrandt and I have to say that thanks to this show I also appreciate his paints...

An interesting take on same famous artists. Very comfortable seating and an all immersive viewing for 45 mins. If you want something a little different and not too much detail this is ideal. NB. You should know a little about the two and art before heading in.

Geweldige ervaring in een prachtige ambiance. Jammer dat de speaker in het engels is. Ik woon in Nederland.!,Verder absolute aanrader!
